The World might finally see the first Tegra 4 powered device ZTE U988S
We were growing more and more desperate to see a Tegra 4 powered phone in 2013.
The main issue of the Tegra 4 SoC is its power consumption. While it is arguably the best chip out there raw performance wise, four Cortex A15 consumes just too much energy.
That is why we saw all year long smartphones equipped with Snadragon, Mediatek and some Samsung chips.
Qualcomm chose to modify the raw Cortex A15 a lot to meet energy consumption requirements, losing some power in the process.
MediaTek is using the low power Cortex A7 which is almost on par with the Cortex A9.
Samsung decided to put Cortex A7 alongside the A15, using the big.Little design, but somewhat failed to distribute the new Exynos line worldwide (production issues).
But finally, aside from the Nvidia Shield Project (dont even get me started on this), there was no Tegra 4 device nor smartphone.
Somewhat, ZTE is risking itself to launch the U988S, the very first smartphone with the Nvidia chip : the Tegra 4 is clocked at 1.8 GHz powering a 5 inch 1090 FHD display, 2 GB Ram and a 13 MP rear camera.
We are very excited to see how it will perform and if it can address the battery life issue. We will offer the ZTE U988S around the same price tag as the XiaoMi Mi 2S (~ USD 380)
Stay tuned on PhonAsia for more informations.

It would appear that wearable’s arent the main gadgets that Samsung Galaxyanticipates utilizing Tizen for, then again, as there is word that Sammie will attempt to get Tizen to assemble footing in businesses outside of Europe and the US: to be specific India and Russia. The two locales could see Tizen pressing Samsung handsets as right on time as the following few approaching weeks.
As of late, a Tizen handsetshould propel in Japan for the bearer NTT Docomo, nonetheless, the arrangement fell through as NTT considered that it wasnt the perfect time for them to do so. Orange in France additionally suffered from last minute anxiety about discharging Tizen cell phones. Seeing as Tizen isnt precisely getting any adoration from bearers, it doesnt resemble a launch in Europe or the States is going to happen within a brief period of time.
Then again, nations like Russia and India and other "developing markets", where ease-cell phones that dont pimp the most noteworthy characteristics, may give a great springboard to Samsung to acquaint Tizen with the world.
Russia ought to be accepting the Tizen telephones first and time will tell how the new cell phone OS charges in the locale.
